Delamaria is a country located in North America. Made up of 35 Million Delamarians it comprises of both colonial and native people groups, primarily from England and France, with areas of both Dutch and native majorities. Colonies first were founded in the late 1400s to 1500s, by England, France and the Netherlands, disregarding the current native populations who migrated to the central regions of the nation. The first colony, Henrytown, is located near present day Cape Hope, Providence , but the settlers would later move to the new colony of Rhodeport as their crops failed. The remains of the colony are now a UNESCO world heritage site, and is one of the first colonial settlements in the new world.

Delamaria's capital is the city of Labrador, though in order it's three largest settlements are Yorkerdam, Labrador and Alberta. Delamaria is a Federal Semi-Presidential Commonwealth, having its head of state being President Deborah Van Roose, an official elected directly by the people along with members of the Senate and the House of Delegates. The current controlling party is the United Party of Delamaria, Which currently holds a government trifecta.

Etymology

Delamaria is thought to have been named after Georges LaMaria an explorer who wrote about the coastline of Delamaria prior to proper settlement. The scholar John Paul Jacques, one of the founders of Cape Hope, declared the land Delamaria in the memory of Lamaria, who was a family friend.

History

Indigenous Population

The indigenous population of Delamaria consists of the Idaha and Jonjava nations as well as the Wiscan tribe. The shared identity of native delamarians formed in the 18th century as treaties were first signed with major tribe groups by Europan colonies. First indigenous groups in Delamaria arrived in around 2500-2000 BCE. Initial contact between certain coastal tribes and Europan explorers and settlers was peaceful and trading relationships between small colonies and tribes were common. However as settlements became larger and more populous, settlers began expanding outwards constructing farms on land claimed by tribes, this lead to the Kartha War of 1699, which lead to the extinction of the Kartha people.
